Cold War players demand further sniper nerfs despite Season 3 Reloaded changes ActivisionDespite having been nerfed in the Season 3 Reloaded mid-season update, some Black Ops Cold War players want sniper rifles to be brought down even further since they\u2019re still \u201cdominating\u201d matches. Season 3 Reloaded saw Rambo and John McClane join the game as brand new operators, but it also brought in a number of weapon balancing changes to try and bring things more level. There were several buffs and nerfs in the update, altering the game\u2019s meta somewhat, but the biggest change of all came in the form of the sniper rifles, with certain attachments nerfed as well as flinch added to the weapons when being shot. Snipers had been hugely divisive in the game prior to this nerf, but it doesn\u2019t seem as though that\u2019s changed. Posting to the Cold War subreddit, bvckspaced asked to address snipers once again, not noticing enough of a difference since their nerf. \u201cCan we address snipers dominating Search & Destroy?\u201d they asked. \u201cAlmost every pub I play, the entire enemy team either is using snipers with dual wield magnums or a crossbow\u2026 The flinch quite honestly has done f**k all, I\u2019m still getting insta-killed after dumping 4 bullets into some d**khead quick scoping not missing a shot.\u201d They add that Cold War is \u201cprobably the easiest game to snipe in for a minute,\u201d with snipers \u201cable to play hyper-aggressive with next to no counterplay against them.\u201d The post has caused much discussion on the BOCW subreddit but, for the most part, people are generally in agreement with bvckspaced. The most upvoted comment even suggests that aim assist should simply be removed from the guns, similar to how they operated in Black Ops 3 for example. On the other hand, some sniping fans disagreed, and don\u2019t want the snipers to become obsolete vs SMGs and Assault Rifles. \u201cBut we are supposed to sit here and take your 74u and your LC10 layering us across map?\u201d one player responded. Treyarch will no doubt be monitoring how snipers are used over the coming weeks and will assess whether they need to nerf snipers even more, but it\u2019s impossible to tell whether they\u2019ll take action just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
